The Brothers Sirianni: Eagles' coach, siblings on their parallel coaching paths.
With their little brother in the spotlight this week as head coach of the Eagles, Mike and Jay have been happy to cheer and watch from the periphery. It's hardly a surprise that all three of them went into coaching, given that their father, Fran, spent 34 years as a coach and teacher. Success at different levels
"I think I’ve always said, to anybody who has asked, that the three of them are where they belong. They seem to relate to the athletes that they’re coaching." Mike immediately settled in at the college level and has been the head coach at Washington & Jefferson since 2003, passing on possible moves early in his career to avoid moving his children while they were young. Jay returned home to Jamestown, teaching social studies and coaching football before stepping down in 2015 to spend more time watching his kids play sports.
"Let’s face it: As a high school coach, I’m the one that’s filling up the water bottles. I’m taping ankles. I’m washing the uniforms after a game," he added. "But that goes with the job, and every high school coach in America will tell you it’s worth it. Because it is." "Coaching is challenging at all levels," said Kehres, whose 332 career wins rank seventh in college football history. "If you’re good at it at the level you picked, if you get uprooted and placed in another place, you would figure it out. You would solve the problems, you would adapt to your environment and pretty soon you’d be successful again."
